Verified step by step guidance

Step 1: Begin by identifying the anatomical location of the greater and lesser tubercles. These are bony prominences located on the proximal end of the humerus, which is the upper arm bone.

Step 2: Understand that the depression between these two tubercles serves as a groove or channel for structures such as the tendon of the long head of the biceps brachii muscle.

Step 3: Review the terminology associated with grooves and depressions in anatomy. The term 'sulcus' refers to a groove or depression, which is often used to describe anatomical features that accommodate tendons, nerves, or blood vessels.

Step 4: Compare the given options: 'olecranon fossa' refers to a depression at the distal end of the humerus for the olecranon process of the ulna; 'coronoid fossa' is another depression at the distal end of the humerus for the coronoid process of the ulna; 'radial groove' is a groove on the posterior aspect of the humerus for the radial nerve. None of these match the location described.

Step 5: Conclude that the correct term for the depression between the greater and lesser tubercles is 'intertubercular sulcus,' as it accurately describes the anatomical feature in question.
